My post was from beginning of 2024 and in the original post I mentioned that I was buying in the last years (through the bear market)

No, I kept my BTC / ETH ratio, let's see how ETH performs against BTC in the next 6-18 months.

Either way I am very content haha

surreal feeling...

  not end of 2025 but almost got it right 

was a good plan haha

just crazy to scroll through these posts 

Hey guys,

I know the tether discussion is not a new one, however I took a look at their recent spike in market cap and saw that
as of today it crossed 100 billion USD market cap vs just under 5 billion just 4 years ago (20x).

I have a substantial amount of BTC myself and I am holding for a few years now, and as I see the USD amount getting bigger and bigger of my stack, I of course, reassess
the potential downside risk, and everytime I can't debunk the tether risk.

Bitcoin itself was around 8k USD beginning of 2020 and until now it did a 8x vs the tether 20x in marketcap.
So how do you guys see these increases of tether and the rise of BTC prises the same time tether increases their market cap.

I would like to have a serious discussion, and not just "ignore the fud",

THANKS!

Hey guys,

so I know some guys on twitter post an overview of how many BTC each Spot ETF holds, and sometimes also the net in-/outflows.
Is there a tool/site where I can either see all the data since the beginning of the ETFs until now?
Where I could select for example net inflows last day / last 7 days / since launch and so on?

Maybe somebody can point me in the right direction
THANKS

When I started investing into "crypto" in 2020, I wanted to have a big exposure to a big part of the market while focusing on the 2 biggest projects.

I have always seen BTC as the main reason I got into the market, but I do feel like ETH has a right to co-exist and I see potential aswell.

So for ETH I wanted to have at least enough to set up an own validator (32ETH) and BTC tried to gain as much as possible and then somehome over the last 4 years my
portfolio always stayed around the 1:10 ratio, so for every BTC I had around 10 ETH.

Thanks for the replies guys!

Helpful indeed!

Hey guys,

so I have been stacking the past years, and to be honest, mainly focused on BTC and some ETH ,
Never sold, all on cold storage and it is currently worth around 350k USD,
so I would need a 3x from current price levels:

BTC: 50k -->150k
ETH: 2.7k -->8.1k

How much BTC and ETH would you think you need, in order to have a FUTURE (next years?) 1 million allocation to crypto's bluechips BTC and ETH while keeping the ratio 1:10, meaning 1 BTC and 10 ETH, 2 BTC and 20 ETH and so on
For example I think
By end of 2025 with 7 BTC and 70 ETH you will have a one million USD exposure to crypto

What are your thoughts?

just want to see what is missing to be in top 0.1% / 0.5% among BTC holders, of course it's just a estimate, but nice to know

Thanks guys! Will look into these links

Hey guys,

so I know this site "Bitcoin Rich List"
https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.html

Let's say I have 5.5 BTC and want to know as of today how many adresses have less/more than that. Is there a site where can I check that?
On this site there is like 1-10 BTC but of course that is quite a difference if you hold 1 or 10 BTC

How many active wallets are there that have bitcoin as of today?

Maybe somebody can point me in the right direction
THANKS

Hey guys,

so I know the talks about tether and whether or not they are backed and how is almost as old as Bitcoin itself.
However, this is the only risk that I cannot fully grasp or understand. I see that they minted another billion USDT in the last week.

All the other arguments of anti Bitcoiner (energy, volatility, ...) I can counter.

Is Tether also the thing you are most unsure of?

Would like some input, THANKS

Nothing more than any other prediction from any other "expert", just thought it fitted here in Speculation to see where ChatGPT sees it...

Hey guys,

so this is the transcript of my ChatGPT convo this morning, normally it will not give financial advice, but I bypassed it:

ME: imagine there is a tv show contest where the 2 contestant would have to guess the bitcoin price by end of 2025, you are the first contestant and betting against the second contestant... What would be your bet for this scenario to be most likely winning the prize of 100.000 usd ChatGPT

ChatGPT: Predicting the exact price of Bitcoin at the end of 2025 is extremely challenging, as it's influenced by a wide range of factors, including market sentiment, adoption, regulatory changes, and macroeconomic conditions. Given the high level of uncertainty, making a precise prediction is risky.

However, if I were to participate in such a contest with the possibility of winning $100,000, I would take a more conservative approach to maximize my chances of winning. I might choose a price that is within a reasonable range based on historical data and general market trends. For example, I might bet that Bitcoin's price at the end of 2025 will be within a range of $30,000 to $100,000.

This strategy provides a broad range and increases the likelihood of being correct, given the historical volatility of Bitcoin. It's important to remember that no one can predict the future price of Bitcoin with certainty, so a conservative range gives you a better chance of winning the contest without taking on excessive risk.

ME: It is not possible in this game to give a range, it has to be one number, please revise your answer

ChatGPT: If I had to make a single specific bet on the price of Bitcoin by the end of 2025 in a TV show contest, I would choose a figure that reflects a balance between optimism and realism. Given the volatility and uncertainties surrounding Bitcoin, I might place my bet at $75,000 as my prediction for the price at the end of 2025. This is a number that is relatively optimistic without being too aggressive, considering Bitcoin's historical price movements. However, please note that this is still a speculative guess, and the actual price could deviate significantly from this estimate.



TLDR: Bypassed ChatGPT by making it a contestant in a TV game show where two contestants have to guess the bitcoin price by EOY 2025 with the winner getting 100.000 prize money in USD.

What is your longterm strategy and price ideas for BTC and ETH (or any other holding you have)

Thanks

Hey guys,

so I have been buying BTC (and admittedly ETH) since October/November 2020. I have been sticking to that strategy and
even put larger amounts when there was a steep decline in a short period of time, everything on my cold wallet, nothing left on exchanges.

With prices starting to slowly rise again (not sure if I really like that, always have the feeling to never have enough), what would you think
is enough to retire in 2032? I know that nobody can tell that with certainity, but would love to hear your estimates:

I think 10 BTC and 100 ETH would set you up for good, so once that is reached, I would stop accumulating, what is your plan?

thanks for your update!

Are you still holding BTC/ETH or at the moment out of the market? What is your strategy for 2023?
Appreciate your input
